The Jonas Brothers, neatly packaged in gant stuff.
I wonder when they will break big time in Europe, so far they've been kind of under the radar(?)
(Or I'm just way too old)

Stanley Beach Hong Kong, one of the more chaaaming McDonalds..
"You want Supel Value Menu?"
"What did you call me?"
"No no Mistel, you don lissen, You want laaach flench flies and sodapop witthe Quatel Poundel, it is almost for flee, vely cheep."

The dudes from Gossip girl in Gant shirts, same week as they're on the cover of details?
Not bad, not bad at all!

This is the first commercial micro wave oven, early 60's I think. Killer design.
Al Gore's speech yesterday was very passionate and interesting.
(And, they served a very nice shiraz..)

There was no hesitation what so ever. It's mine now, it had to be.
This is THE Sawtooth, the fade, the patina, the everything.
Whopee-doo, to say the least.
By the way, tonite I'm going to meet Al Gore, that's really weird, even for being me.
Note to self: Must be slightly tipsy before I say hello.
"I met Al Gore, drunk".
How many can say that? That's cooler than cool. Ice-cool, that's what it is.
(Or it's just my lousy relation to free champagne, I don't know)

Oh, and did I mention the Vintage Fila / Bjorn Borg collaboration sweaters that I bought as well? (Like 15 of them!)
And the Tennis shorts (Hamptons here I come!) from the same line, and the vintage Fisher Sunglasses..
All in original packing, mint condition...
I rule so hard it's silly.

(Will sell some of it, email me for more info)

Last weeks vacation in Alassio on the Italian Riviera ment sunshine, wine, great food and splendid company, it normally does.
What it does not normally mean is buying 22 pairs of vintage Nike sneakers from 1979.
I got a tip about this sportswear store where they "had some old stuff that you seem to like so much".
After rummaging through the shelves, the owner (72 years old) wanted to wash his hands and went back to the storage, I took a peak inside...and HOLY CRAP!!
There they where!!
Untouched for almost 30 years, stacked in a moldy corner, in their original boxes, never even laced up!!
I asked if I could take a look. "Yes of course, but they are very old"
Ah, the sweet sweet feeling of finding that gold at the end of the rainbow.
I might be the happiest vintage nerd in the world today.

Zac Effron sports a Gant shirt. Nice-o-rama.

They say "God is in the details" Amen to that!!
Early 1900 vuitton steamer trunk.
(Bid's currently at 7000 buckaroos)

Things that I would sell my kids for:

A perfect body and a healthy mind? Not likely.

An old Fiorentine stone villa close to the Hanbury Tennis Club in
Alassio? Maybe.

That "Double red" Sea Dweller? Most definately.

Clocks anyone?
Thanks to my monthly "vintage porn" magazine free & easy I snap back
from wanting to be avant garde and innovative to what I love most. Old
shit.
It's the same thing, every month, and I love it. If it ain't broken,
don't fix it.

Best redwings, ever.
I bought the bright red ones like 10 years ago. Broke them in to
perfection, got bored of them and then threw them out when moving like
6 years ago. I should be put against a wall and shot.

Sometimes a new fashion magazine comes along.
Sometimes a new fashion magazine comes along and blow your mind.
This is certainly one the mind-blowing ones.
It's hardcase (!!) it's got Hillary Swank on the cover (!!), it's
swedish (!!) and is simply called:
Fashion Tale.

Extremely well done!!

Freeman's apparently got a "Schacket" on the market. A mix between Shirt and Jacket. It's funny, I did the "Blashirt" this season. A totally unconcstructed Blazer, sewn on shirting machinery. I thought I was very "Rei Kawakubo" and "original. I'm very ordinary it seems. I'll never post again until I have an original idea... Crap. Besides, "Schacket" sounds a lot cooler than "Blashirt", acutally sounds a bit like "Sharted", a mix between shit and farted when I think of it...CRAP!!!

L'eclaireur in paris. Almost forgot how fantastique this place is.
It's got the same vibe as B4itwascool, only fashion instead of lamps.
The same shady, artful, almost sinister weirdness. "Too dark to live
in, but wonderful to visit" is the closest I get thinking of it. (Or
what it must have been like being best friends with Charles Bukowski,
sort of.)

Could this be the coolest lamp ever produced? Yes, it could be.It's 4500 dollars. Which is about 4500 dollars more than my lamp-budget at the time. (It's a vintage dentist lamp, root canal was so much more stylish back in the days)

I've said it B4, but "B4 it was cool on Houston and Bowery (sort of) is a mandatory to visit each time in NYC. There was this fantastic guy there who told me about how he "used to like fix computors and stuff" but now "sort of fixes electrical things, rebuilding, and stuff". Down in the basement I felt like I was stuck in the dungeon in "Silence of the lambs" Only the props where much scarier here... You need to check this place out, it's the creepiest and at the same time coolest place on earth. I want everything they have in the store. Basta.

The "Vintage mezzanine" at the flagship store on 5th Ave. Great items and great styling by Scott Hill, one of few who knows how to rock AND to do a kickass display. Wearing a Tie like that to a pop-over shirt, trés genial.

And so, finally, we're in at Barneys COOP. The feeling of seeing the stuff there is none other than extraordinary. (The mannequins looks like an alien on speed, but that's ok too)

Breakfast at Tiffanys are for loosers. Here's how to do it. Pop up to Dean & DeLuca at 80th and Madison, buy prosciutto di parma, creame cheese, some italian tomatoes, OJ and coffee. Then just find a nice spot of central park, dig in. Best breakfast I've had in ages. Notice my collegues skirt, smashing!
